This passage was a blessing to my heart, as I was meditating on Hebrews 11:6.

“He also says that the Old Testament heroes of faith were so convinced of the veracity of God’s promises and the reality of things not yet seen, that they staked their lives on that conviction; and in so doing they received the commendation of God himself. What we have here is complete trust in God—that he exists and rewards those who trust him.”
